Congrats Team OnePlus on the successful launch of yet another great device. Also I'm glad about the proceeds of the 5T launch going to F-Droid, Thanks for that!

With that said we all have a lot of questions, here are a few.

1. Should we expect a 'T' model every year from now on?
2. ‎Will the OnePlus 5/5T share the exact same update cycle like 3/3T did? If yes will Oreo count as one of the 2 major updates for the 5T?
3. Improvements to panorama stitching and plans to include a manual mode for videos in future?
4. ‎Energy awareness scheduling(EAS) coming to OnePlus 5/5T?
5. ‎Will the 3/3T and 5/5T get Treble?
6. ‎Will features like face unlock, sunlight display etc make it to the 5 (and even possibly 3/3T)?
7. ‎Will OnePlus 3/3T get Android 8.1?
8. ‎End of Open Beta for OnePlus 3/3T?
9. ‎Camera blobs for 3(T) and 5(T) to help improve camera quality in custom ROMs?
10. Will KRACK WPA2 fix be made available for older devices like the OnePlus X, One? If yes, When? If no, why not?
11. ‎‎Will you consider a wide-angle lens for the secondary rear-camera in future devices?
12. ‎Will the next OnePlus have the 3.5mm headphone jack? When can we expect it's removal?
13. ‎‎Wireless charging and Ingress Protection(Water and dust resistance with IP6X rating) in future devices?

Phew.. that's definitely a lot of questions, but this should help me and hopefully a lot of other people get what they need to know.

Edit: Why is this AMA not on reddit (/r/Android) like it usually is?

Click to expand...

I'll answer the first question to give others a fair chance of being answered.

We'll make a second T device if there's enough new technology that's useful to our users. As of now, we still haven't decided whether we have enough upgrades next year for a T device.

The only question I have is if or when you are planning to release the 5T in Australia.

Click to expand...

Thank you for your support. We're putting sales for this region on hold until we're sure our Aussie fans can get the best OnePlus experience. Please keep an eye on our channels for updates on product availability.

Product ManagerStaff MemberNov 21, 2017

6. Are there any plans to extend the functionality of secondary camera on OnePlus 5/5T to other camera modes (such as Pro Mode, Timelapse, Slow Motion, Video Recording, etc) for these are not possible on the current version of OnePlus 5?

FroyoNov 21, 2017

1. How reliable is the Face Detection System in the OnePlus 5T since it is just implemented at the software level? Moreover, Could we see some security updates in the Face Detection System in near future so that it can be used for payment transactions as well?

Co-founderStaff MemberNov 21, 2017

with OP5T being launched at the same price and with better specs, no-one is going to buy OP5 now, which means production of OP5 will have to be stopped leading to its abandonment within 5 months of its launch. it will have implications for software support as well (gonna be for very short period as there are no more OP5 selling. NOW WHO DOES THAT TO THEIR LATEST FLAGSHIPS ?

And Why we as customers should buy OP6 knowing the fact that it might as well get abandoned within 4-5 months ?

Hey I can answer some of these.
4: No, we have our own version of EAS that we feel is better suited for our devices.
5: No, we are not currently supporting treble and do not plan to for these devices.
7: Yes, later.
8: We will stop when we feel there are no more updates that are relevant for the Open Beta program.
9: No, Camera software is proprietary. We do not have authorization to distribute this code to anyone.

KitKatCommunity ExpertNov 21, 2017

When are you guys making OnePlus Switch available. I'm currently using a OnePlus 2, and I just wanted to know if I should wait and buy the OnePlus 5T after you guys launch Switch so that I can transfer data easily?

We'll announce when it's ready. You will be able to use this on the OnePlus 2.

Co-founderStaff MemberNov 21, 2017

Congratulations OnePlus Team for 5T launch & Good Luck with the sales !!

I have been following the tech reviews and pretty much everyone's qualm about 5T is its Camera. So my main question will be around this feature

1) Why OnePlus is struggling to put on decent camera considering the fact that every iteration there's a price bump?
2) Why not include OIS?
3) Should we expect 2 phones per year?
4) What about the OTA's schedule? Will you commit for some duration like Google did?
5) Do you think OnePlus will remain Flagship Killer moving forward?

Thank you !!

Click to expand...

We can only make the best product within our abilities. Whether other people call them flagship killers or not isn't something we can control.

Really excited to have ordered my first one+ device today! Are there any features on the 5t that you think people maybe don't know about but is extremely useful? Also how many Android updates will it get this was one of my concerns coming from iOS but you guys seem on top of it!

Thank you!

bonus question if possible are there any new soft goods in the works with how well received your backpacks were?

Product ManagerStaff MemberNov 21, 2017

Why was the 5T released, even though the Team had a statement of 3T being a One-Time Thing?

Click to expand...

Every time we consider releasing a T device, we first determine whether the technology available enables us to deliver a superior product. We believe in sharing the best technology with the world whenever possible.

Product ManagerStaff MemberNov 21, 2017

I know a lot of people want the automated DND feature that is present in stock android to be included in oxygen os . I assume you don't include this because then the sound setting on the phone could become out of sync with the physical alert slider on the phone. Have you ever considered adding a small motor to the alert slider to solve this problem?

Click to expand...

Our team will continue to monitor automated DND, and consider its implementation in the future.

OxygenOS OperationsStaff MemberNov 21, 2017

@Gary C. I wanted to know whether the OnePlus 5t will receive continuous updates for a long time or not. It comes with Android 7 in the box, so the minimum is to upgrade it to Oreo and an additional version; however, we would like it if it was supported further in the software department.@Louis S. Will the fingerprint sensor support customisable gestures? Gestures like Back and Home like the ones on the 5 would be an awesome addition.
Hope you answer my questions!

Click to expand...

Hi tofylion,
Of course, your 5T will get continuous official updates for 2 years.

Hey Carl and team!@Gary C. Any plans to develop Always On Display feature? It will be more battery friendly in my opinion than tapping our screen all the time to check our notifications or grabbing our phone, also if very useful especially now that fingerprint scanner was move at the back (which is more practical in my opinion) and cool feature to have with an AMOLED panel.

Click to expand...

We're investigating AoD, whether or not it's to be implemented, we have not decided.

I might of just bought a 5T, my Nexus 5X has been dead for a while and my second hand S4 has a cracked screen and no back...
happy to see the notification LED didn't run away like I presumed it did hahaa question..
Will the 5T support android pay so I can spend too much money on doughnuts and occasionally things I actually do need?

Click to expand...

The device supports Android Pay. As long as you are in an area that uses Google Pay and are not Rooted.

OxygenOS OperationsStaff MemberNov 21, 2017

6- @Gary C. Could you please fix the Bug Report option for developers? If I try to get a Bug Report on the OnePlus 5, the "Share" notification doesn't do anything.

Thank you for reporting that, we will check it ASAP.

7 - @Gary C. On the Shelf, there isn't much sense clicking the + and then selecting the one and only option there (it even goes against Material Design), so please, remove the option and make the + button directly add the option.[/QUOTE]

This is a good suggestion, I will forward it to our product team for further discussion.

Product ManagerStaff MemberNov 21, 2017

Hello together from germany. Just some technical questions.
Can you tell me the reason, why you decided not to allow using raw s from OP5 tele lens in pro mode?
Will open beta program be available for 3/3T and 5/5T at same time or will open beta team stop the OP3/3t releases once the 5 /5T will get s first open beta?
Do you plan to use some camera sensor or other hardware with full open source drivers like the prism project in future?

Click to expand...

We currently don't have plans to use full open source drivers like the prism project.

@Adam Krisko most need answer for the question as XDA developers has changed ear piece in to speaker for stereo effect then will be it gets implemented in 3T

Click to expand...

I'm sorry, I'm not 100% sure if I understand you. I think you mean if the we will implement the hacking that allows the earpiece to be cranked to 11 and "out put" sound as a faux "stereo speaker". The answer to that is no. And if you do this, and break your speaker we will not cover it, as the earpiece is not meant to play sound that loud.

Hey, thanks for your support! We will update the trade-in option of 5 in several days, so you can purchase 5T first, then you could trade in your phone for cashback.

FroyoNov 21, 2017

thanks @Carl for the reply. that was really quick.
1) can we have a trade-in programme for OP5 to OP5T ?
2) how long you gonna support OP5 ?
3) and like I asked first , " why should a customer buy an OP6 and not wait for 6T ? "

Click to expand...

Hey, thanks for your support! I'd like to reply the first point, we will update the trade-in option of 5 in several days, so you can purchase 5T first, then you could trade in your phone for cashback.

@Adam Krisko What phone do You personally use and is it rooted?
Is the lunch offer open for others as well? I'd like to invite You for a lunch if you're visiting Shanghai in the near future

Click to expand...

I was using a OP5 that I bought so I can play around with roms and root tools. (remember I work with the community devs often) I will always have a rooted device on hand, but it may not be my primary device. As of last week, I switched full time to the OP5T. I am running dogfood builds (internal only builds) for day to day stability testing. I've found more and more I no longer require root, Android if finally maturing enough that OEMs provide the features that I used to be only able to get via root and custom ROMs.

1) Are you all planning on moving to the actual Oreo UI? I heard someone say Adam said it was happening but I just wanted confirmation. These forums are a mess of rumors.

2) Is this beta build patched against the KRACK vulnerability?

3) Why do you guys always lag in the security patches and why do you only ever use the 1st of the month partial patches? This has been asked numerous times by numerous people on here and no one has ever gotten a straight answer.

Click to expand...

1: I never said that. My words were "We know users are asking a for "stock look" and we hear the users asking for that, but we might not always decide to go that way. Brian even said in the launch, we follow android in our own way. We called it Android Plus. We try our hardest not to break muscle memory, but we will not be "Pure Android" Even Google uses a modified version of android now in the Pixel devices.
2: No, we received the O version of the patch a day or so before the OBT build went out. We never release code that has not at least gone through our internal testing. Which takes about a week to finish. (it's called aging internally) During this time we test to see if merging any of the code breaks anything else that we have implemented. The patch will roll out later.
3: The answer is actually very similar to #2. So see above. If the testing doesn't line up to give the patches, they are not rolled into the builds.

2. Theming - Will there ever be more accent colors to pick from?
3. Why not implement fingerprint scanner on the side like Razer phone?
7. What do all of you guys like doing after work?

Click to expand...

2: We are still evaluating different themes and accent colors. We will decide later if we will include them or not.
3: That solution is good for a flat sided device, it's too big for our sculpted curves
7: Personally I go home and spend time with my family. But meeting up with friends and relaxing with a few beers is a great second option.

Can you assign different actions to the fingerprint gestures, like with the long/double press on the navigation buttons?

Click to expand...

The fingerprint sensor on the 5T is capable of several actions other than unlocking. You can swipe to access notifications and can long press the sensor to access our Quick pay feature if you are in an area that supports the function (China and India only ATM)

Global Community ManagerStaff MemberNov 22, 2017

My question is why after 3 months have you One Plus abandoned Australia?@David Y.@Carl

Click to expand...

Hi Chris!

Everything about Australia is amazing. We love Australia. The reason why we didn't officially enter the market is because our internal resource isn't ready yet. We can't guarantee a best user experience for you guys so we had to postponed our plan.

Stay tuned. Hope we can see you in Australia very soon. ^^

P.S. We will continue the after-sales support for those who participated in our Australia Soft Launch program.

KitKatCommunity ExpertNov 22, 2017

@Adam Krisko
There's only one feature I'm interested in being added, I'd appreciate an answer, will we ever get long press volume keys skip tracks? One of my favorite features that I would love to see on Oxygen OS

Click to expand...

Anything is possible in the future, but right now, it's not in the plan.

The "blobs" as most people refer to are available to devs already. That being said, to make a custom rom have picture quality as good as a stock rom (the one provided from the OEM) requires much more than just the blob. One often needs access to the proprietary code that is licensed only to the OEM that produced the phone originally. We have no legal way (or right) to give that out to anyone.

Product ManagerStaff MemberNov 23, 2017

Hello together from germany. Just some technical questions.
Can you tell me the reason, why you decided not to allow using raw s from OP5 tele lens in pro mode?

Click to expand...

This was done in order to ensure a pleasant user experience. Using the telephoto lens in Pro mode would not offer a visual advantage or result in higher-quality photos. It is only used for zoom and to create a depth profile when taking portraits pictures.

Is there any explanation for the lack of Treble? Is it a OnePlus problem or a vendor problem?

Click to expand...

Yes, we are happy to share our rationale. Recently, we received requests from users and community members, some of which signed a Change.org petition to support Project Treble on the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T. Project Treble is a really exciting technology, but it is not the right fit for us now. I assure you we’re still updating our devices and will continue to deliver high-quality, stable software updates. That being said, we always welcome feedback, and I want to further shed some light on why we are not implementing Project Treble on these devices.

Project Treble requires a storage partition, by which the Android framework and vendor image are separated. However, because partitions were not required of Android N and previous versions of Android, all of our current devices do not feature a partition. According to our tests, if we were to modify the partition layout via OTA there is a risk that devices will brick during the partitioning. We feel this poses too great a risk for our community of users, which is why we have decided not to implement Project Treble on current OnePlus devices.

While Project Treble can increase the rate of Android OS updates, it mainly accelerates the Android framework updates. We were one of the first manufacturers to release an update to Android O. Our software team is committed to delivering high-quality and stable major OS upgrades, and we will continue to look for ways to improve the quality and rate at which we deliver software updates in the future. That being said, we look forward to the future of Project Treble, and how it will evolve to better support devices ahead.

MarshmallowModeratorNov 21, 2017

My question is : What made the company decide to keep the same pricing for Op5t as Op5, considering the fact that Oneplus 5 is still not obsolete? and 18"9 screen and face unlock is really something exciting over Op5.

1. With the introduction of Project Treble, can OnePlus 5/5T users expect Android OS upgrades after Android P?
2. Will the OnePlus 3/3T be receiving Android 8.1 after Google has released it?
3. Do you have any plans to bring Face Unlock to OnePlus 5?
4. Are you planning to officially bring OnePlus devices to other markets, specifically SEA region?
5. Can we expect future mid-year device releases (i.e. 6T for 6, 7T for 7, etc)?

2. During the launch event of OnePlus 5T, Mr. Pei mentioned some of the mishaps which happened during past's launch events. Considering those what kind of precautions you had to undertake for this event?

3. With the launch of the OnePlus 5T, I just want to ask one question which is also one of the most common questions that I've encountered is, What is better, OnePlus 5 or the OnePlus 5T?. Because according to me and my brother, OnePlus 5T is what OnePlus 5 should have been at the launch back in June.

4. Inspite of "bezel-less" 6.01-inch Full optic AMOLED screen with the 18:9 aspect ratio and 2160x1080 pixel resolution, why didn't we see any increase in the pixel per inch on the OnePlus 5T?

5. I appreciate the motive which was shared by Mr. Pei via twitter for retaining the wired dash charging for the OnePlus 5T, but then I was expecting a significant improvement in the battery power taking into consideration the increased power consumption due to new 6.01-inch "bezel-less" screen.

6. Could you explain about the parallel-app management in the new OnePlus 5T?

7. Being a "Flagship Killer" smartphone, OnePlus 5T should have been with Water Proof & Dust Proof features. I really don't know why OnePlus compromised on this?

Will the OP3 and OP3T get Android 8.1?

Will the new software features present on the OnePlus 5T (like Face Unlock) come to previous models?

According to geekyranjit, @@Carl said Face Unlock won't work on previous phones do to hardware limitations. Is this true? If so, which hardware is missing on previous phones? The OP5T and OP5 share the same front camera sensor, Sony's IMX371.

Are you going to implement other fingerprint sensor gestures, like swipe up to open the app drawer?

Some small questions and a long big post ...
Firstly congrats for the success OnePlus team

.Why can't we use telephoto lense in pro mode for the OnePlus 5

.Is face Unlock of the 5t coming to 5 coz we see no hardware changes in both of them and its just a matter of software?

. We need a switch or something so we know when we are shooting images in 2x .. its from the telephoto lense and not the wide angle.(Oneplus 5)in auto mode

. A separate column in the camera app for either using wide angle or telephoto lense (Oneplus 5)no matter what the lighting pro mode should let us use the telephoto lense

. 1080p 60fps stabilization (Both)

. At least 720p ...240fps slow motion if not 1080 ..120fps

. Face Unlock for OnePlus 5 even if its a tad bit slower please remove the swipe to unlock (from the smart lock face detection)

. The on-screen navigation buttons need to be transparent in OnePlus 5t while in any app so it looks more pleasant and not so ugly like the present

. GPS hunting issue to be fixed in the OnePlus 5 and we hope it isnt there for the 5t

. The time needed to open the shotononeplus wallpaper is too long even on a high speed data connection

. Fingerprint scanner on OnePlus 5 is Fast..alot Fast but theres a subtle vibration felt when u keep your finger on the sensor and after that vibration the display lights up (Can you just match those.. the vibration and display lighting up ... It will make it feel more faster... Either delay the vibration or increase the display on speed)

. I'm running out of the things that i want and just wanna start praising actually [e]1f602[/e]

.Can we have the old ambient display option rather than the second version (How i used the first one ... Keep the ambient display on with the sensor so whenever i put my phone in the pocket remove it its lit but keeping double tap to wake on also lets me interact with the display at the same moment not there on the OnePlus 5

Appraisal (OnePlus 5)

.Battery life is amazing lasts me 1.5 days with 1 complete charge

.The name "Dash Charger" should be changed to "Lighting Fast Charger". .. i never thought smartphones will charge so fast hntil i had OnePlus 3

.The Amoled Display is just amazing with DCI-P3 calibration .. eyes never get burnin or something

.Camera ...OMG It's amazing!!!! Just cant express myself but I'll be posting all my shots on insta and see how many get selected for shot on OnePlus

.This phone is Fuc**ng Fast!!!!!!

.App install times are ..eye blinking speed fast

. The horizon curve of this phone as u call it.... Is the only sole reason to make it feel so premium

.Animations are so amazing ..Top Notch ahm.. (Iphone X)

.the tactile feel of the keys !!! Wow .. i keep clicking them by turning the phone off ... Its just so soft and feedbackie

. Telephoto camera needs a bit improvement it doesnt feel 20mp just sharpening going on ... But the thought of even having a telephoto lense on a camera is amazing !!!! I wished this thing from past 5-6 years and it happened!!!

Design suggestions-

..1... Headphone jack-. If u keep it for the OnePlus 6... Keep it at the position of the speaker of OnePlus 5 i mean swap those positions ....

Headphone jack on the left and speaker at the right...

Why if u ask here is the answer
.. While playing games in landscape mode the speaker is muffled and its a ugly feeling ...yeah ugly its like my hands are vibrating... And there will be no problem in keeping the headphone jack there as the aux cord can go through our fingers while gaming

...2... Camera placement -
It looks beautiful on this phone the OnePlus 5 Currently sexy! <In words but while gaming it feels a very awkwardly placed as it just spoils the gaming experience as
‎ Camera > gaming. ... I dont want camera to even have smudges so thats why

..3... Please keep the curved design of OnePlus 5 its the best part of the phone!!!

Hopefully u read some points if not all amazing device overall please bring the face Unlock to OnePlus 5 no matter what! Its just the last thing i would like if u cant give those^

Overall the best phone of 2017... OnePlus 5t and followed by OnePlus 5 amazing job OnePlus team!!

It feels home with u guys coz u guys are so open not like apple Samsung and everyone else just release the phone and fuc* it we dont care ...you guys are truly amazing ... Please do not keep on replying to people for the features they ask like theres some hardware limitation... We all know it isnt and its a great marketing strategy in a way (as i am an MBA in it and ik how it does to ur team) but providing them with it will give u more success than other things..

Cheers OnePlus team keep on the good work
Cheap phones are getting great and amazing!! A flagship killer(for me) at 540 dollars ... Aha hell yes!
